The Triathlon Bikes PD, a prototype of a TT bicycle, is not just another sports equipment. It's a testament to the power of inspiration and the limitless possibilities of innovation. The design, which was inspired by the fierce Spanish Miura bull, is a perfect blend of form and function. The muscular body of the Miura bull is reflected in the monocoque carbon frame, highlighting the sharp lines of the design and emphasizing the competitive profile of the frame. This unique design feature sets the Triathlon Bikes PD apart from its competitors.
The design was realized using Autoclave Composite materials, resulting in a carbon monocoque frame. This makes the bike one of the strongest and lightest in the world TT bike. The frame, which measures 179 x 53 x 97 cm and weighs just 6.3 kilos, is a testament to the innovative use of new materials and technologies in the cycling industry.
The Triathlon Bikes PD was developed by the Bulgarian design studio Paradox Design Base, under the direction of Lachezar Ivanov. The design process, which took a year to complete, was conducted in Sofia, Bulgaria. The project was a challenge in maintaining the character of the ferocious Miura bull within the bicycle frame. However, the end result is a design that is not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing.
The design has been recognized for its innovation and creativity, winning the Silver A' Vehicle, Mobility and Transportation Design Award in 2020. This prestigious award is given to designs that demonstrate outstanding expertise and innovation, and the Triathlon Bikes PD certainly fits the bill. The design is admired for its strong technical characteristics and splendid artistic skill, showcasing a remarkable level of excellence and introducing positive feelings, amazement, and wonder.
The Triathlon Bikes PD is more than just a bicycle; it's a work of art. It's a testament to the power of inspiration, the possibilities of innovation, and the skill and creativity of its designer, Lachezar Ivanov. Whether on the road or on display, the Triathlon Bikes PD is sure to turn heads and inspire awe.
